Radiator style and design is important; you want to be happy with the radiators that are going to be in your home for years to come. Radiator bleed valves help you maintain those radiators so that they will last for those years! If you’ve ever had cold sport at the top of your radiator while your heating is on, or if they made clunky groaning noises then its likely that they need to be bleed. The cause is trapped air that you can easily let out through a radiator bleed valve using a radiator bleed key or screwdriver. So, while bleed valves are a functional part of the heating system, they don’t have to be ugly!
This pack includes a bleed valve to bleed your radiator and a blanking plug, which goes on the opposite side to the bleed valve (at the top of the radiator or towel rail) to keep the unit completely sealed and functioning.
ColourSilver Nickel is a great alternative for those that like the neutral versatility of chrome but aren’t so keen on the high shine polished finish. A unique colour in that, unlike silver (the metal) it has a slightly golden tinge giving it a beautiful quality feel, similar to that of jewellery. Pair these beauties with our silver nickel TRVs and pipe covers to complete the look of your radiator or towel rail.
Delta (Δ) Ratings Explained
What is a Delta (Δ) Rating?
When discussing heat outputs, the Delta rating is the difference between the temperature of the water inside the heating system and the desired temperature of the room.
What does the value represent?
In simple terms, this value is about heat loss. Heating a room only works, if the radiator output exceeds the heat loss of the room.
We use this calculation to make it easy to choose a radiator that will have a heat output that exceeds the heat loss of the room when connected to your heating system type.
If you don't know the room heat loss, you can use our calculator to find out.
What Delta Rating should I use?
- Δ50 = Gas boilers before 2005 / Oil boilers before 2007.
- Δ40 = Gas boilers after 2005 / Oil boilers after 2007.
- Δ30 = Low temperature systems e.g heat pumps.
Watts & BTUs (British Thermal Units) Explained
What is a Watt?
Watts are our main unit of energy/power in the UK, commonly associated with lightbulbs and Home Energy performance certificates (EPCs).
What is a BTU?
BTUs are the unit of measurement used to portray a radiators heat output and a rooms heating requirement. 1 Watt is equal to 3.41 BTUs.
Why are they important?
We buy radiators to heat our homes, right? So, we need a way of knowing if a radiator is powerful enough to heat the room that we are shopping for - Watts and BTUs provide us with a value that makes its easier to compare radiators and ultimately choose the right one for our heating requirement.
Need help figuring out how much heat your room needs?
Our fast and easy-to-use BTU calculator can help you:
- Work out a heating requirement value (in BTUs & Watts) for your room
- Show you in-stock radiator recommendations that can fulfil this heat requirement
